Prevent Costly Repairs with Regular Furnace Maintenance
The best way to save money on repair is the keep up with your regular HVAC maintenance. Here are some tips to keep in mind.
- Dirt and dust is the number one enemy to your furnace. Corrective action is to have your furnace cleaned annually.
- Inspect or change furnace filter monthly, even if you are using a 3 month filter. Furthermore this does not mean you do not have to change your filter once a month, but different households have different needs.
- Adjust your thermostat correctly.
- Do not store chemicals around your furnace (for example, paints, solvents and laundry detergents). These chemicals destroy the components of your furnace!
In addition we offer HVAC Maintenance Agreements. It will save you time, money, and headaches! We also offer commercial air conditioning maintenance plans for offices, retail, and multi-unit buildings, plus annual boiler maintenance in Chicago. Wondering what a fall tune-up should run?
